I think that increasing the salary of our Canadian Armed Forces will improve recruitment but also retention. Also, I do think that a recruitment strategy will help.
However, we identified other weaknesses that could help with recruitment. I think one of the places to start is to understand why more than half of the people who apply sort of abandon the recruitment process and no longer have contact with the Canadian Armed Forces. Until you understand why individuals are leaving the recruitment process, you can't make changes that will help address that.
Our report does highlight some changes that were made during the audit, but, again, it's too early to know the kind of impact that will have on recruitment.
